2020 : Ctl, Alt, Delete

Wow. Just wow. If I had been told when I started this blog that by early 2020 the world would be turned upside down, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Modelling had taken a back seat since moving house last year, due to pressure of work. That began to change in March this year, as the Coronvirus started to bite. My employers initially sent me home on full pay, then decided they wanted me to work from home. That was fine, since my job involves issuing written responses to customer complaints, and while I miss the craic of working with my friends, I did cut my commute from 2 1/2 hours a day to 30 seconds. In theory that gave me an extra 2 1/2 hours modelling time.

After only 2 weeks of working from home, they decided to furlough me. I wasn’t very pleased about that, particularly since that came with a 20% pay cut, but after my initial annoyance, I have realised there is little I can do about it, so I have accepted it and decided to use the time to catch up with some projects (including some more regular updates of this blog!). Hence the title of this post, it’s a sort of life reset.
